For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular butter. Adjust the amount of Scotch bonnet chile to your spice preference, or omit it altogether for a milder dish. A splash of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar at the end can add brightness. This dish pairs perfectly with roasted meats, poultry, or fish.
